Risk reported that coal handler, John Il.
Graham, of New York, had died of over
heat and cramps and was buried at sea-
Nothing more was thought of the matter,

surprise when q coal handler named Riley
visited the Office OF the United States Com
missioner and made affidavit charging
William r. Mccullough, chief engineer.
with the murder of Graham. He swears
that be was in the same watch with Ora
ham, when four days out from New York.
Graham com plained of being sick. Shortly
after this Chief Eugineer Mccullough
found Graham lying down, apparently
sleeping, whereupon he remarked. "Pll
wake you up" and deliberately took a
large shovel OF red-hot Goals and poured
them over the PROSTATE form, also beating
and abusing Graham, writhing under the
Goals. Within fifteen minutes Graham
was corpse. Riley says the body was
kept on ice until within twelve hours OF
Galveston, and then buried at sea. A
warrant charging Mccullough with MUIR
der on the high sea was issued, and ne
was arrested and committed to Jail. Five
witnesses were also arrested. Engineer
Mccullough is about forty-three years
old, and is resident OF New York City.

And Criminal Proceedings Too.

WASHINGTON, October 19-The Agricul-
tural Convention met again in session this
morning. A permanent organization was
effected by the adoption of a constitution
providing for aDd prescribing the duties of
a President, five Nice-presidents, a Sscre-
tary and Treasurer, and an Executive Com
mittee. The name adopted was The
American Association of State Agricul-
tural Colleges and Experiment Stations, +"
to the annual conventions of which each
college and station will be entitled to send
one delegate. At the morning session
Prof. W. o. Atwater, OF the Wesleyan Uni

on the subject OF Coordination of Work
in Agricultural Experimenting" The
speaker discussed means for so systema-
tiZing work of the experiment stations as
contemplated in the Hatch bill as to secure
the least waste OF energy and most success
full results. The speaker said that while
farms in connection with the stations would
undoubtedly be of service, especially in
the beginning, yet the bulk of the best WORK
that which is most useful and serviceable
to farmers, must be done in the laboratory
and in the green house. He said that the
farms Of the most important stations in
Europe, and especially in Germany, had
been ultimately abandoned and the sta
tons removed to the cities, and the work
con tinued in connection with prominent
universities, where their facilities were
greatly increased.

TROUBLE BETWEEN COUSINS
Sir Bache Cmard Has Charles q. Franck-
lYn Arrested for Stealing.

Sir Bache Cmard Has Charles q. Franck-
Ign Arrested for Stealing.
NEW YORK, October 2l.-Oharles G..
Francklyn, who was locked up late last
night in Ludlow street all is still in Gus
tody, having been unable to procure the
bail Of 100000 required. The suit in
which his arrest was made was brought by
Sir Bache Cunard. The complaint alleges
that on September %, 1872, that he en-
gagged Fraucklyn as his agent, and en-
trusted TO him the management of an
estate consisting Of about 1000, 900 worth
OF bonds and other securities. October S,
1883, he gave him 100000 more. In July
1885, Sir Bache demanded the return of his
property and on September %, Francklyn
gave him 1928 $50. Sir Bache claims that
Francklyn is still.indebted to him to the
amount of So 000, 600 the balance and &C
cumulstions of interest.
Mr.. Whitelock, attorney for the plant
if, swears that on October g. 1888, he gave
the defendant as the business agent OF the
plaintiff 800 900 in cash, the plaintiffs
portion OF the p 3rsoDal estate of his
brother, Edward Cunard. The plaintiff
having need of large sum of money,
cabled the defendant early in 1865 to sell
securities and transmit the money. Defen-
dant failed to comply with this request
and Sir Bache Cunard came to this coun-
for the return of his property. At that
time the defendant admitted that he had
converted TO his own use securities to the
amount of 100000, and was unable to de-
liver them to plaintiff. Defendant re-
quested plaintiff not to proceed against
him, saying that he would be able in time
to repay the full amount
Relying upon this and not wishing to
disgrace Francklyn, who was his cousin,
Sir Bache trusted HIM further. The mat
ter had been allowed to run along until
now it is claimed Francklyn is in arrears
to the amo1nt of s., 600, 600.
Mr.. St1llman, of Mr.. Frsncklyn's coun-
sci, said the defense claimed that Sir Bache
Cunsrd and Mr.. Francklyn were Jointly
interested in business enterprises in this
country; that the latter had full authority
from the former for all his acts, that were
now complained of, and that Sir Bache
was now trying to lake good his share OF
losses incurred by demanding that Mr..
Francklyn should pay them. Mr..
Francklyn positively refuses to see anyone
bet his coun sci. The affidavit upon which
the arrest was MADE says that according to
the experts examination of the books of
Francklyp, there is found to be due Sir
Bsche, 1889 424, exclusive of interest
which the defendant has retained and con-
yerted 10 his own use.

AN EX.CoNVICT'S LETTER.

He Addresses the Governor, Earnestly
Thanking Him for His Pardon.
Governor Gray has received the follow
ing letter from ChauDcey S. Barnes, who,
after serving over sixteen years in the
Michigan City prison, was pardoned by the
Governor last week. The case of Barnes
was rather out of the usual order and
bordered on the romantic. 1t will be re-
membered that the crime for which he was
sentenced for life was the killing of his
sweetheart while in fit of dependency
arising from the refusal of the parents of
the girl to consent to their marriage He
then tried to kill himself. Those who are
familiar with the case applaud the action
of the Governor in releasing him and ex-
press the opinion that Barnes will give
him no cause for regretting his action.
The letter is as follows;
MATTAwAN MILL, October &c, ISS7.
To His Excellency, j. p. Gray.
HoNoRED SIR:-@ ~ wish to assure your
excenency that your clemency in my case is
fully appreciated and that by manly eudesyOr
and firm adherence 10 duties due others and
myself, ] hsve their confidence that leads me
to hope my effort to be a good citizen will be
aided. The pleasing way In which have been
treated by friends of my parents aud even
strangers since my return home mas much
affected me. My parents, who are very aged
people, were almost OVerpowered with Joy
when they met me, and they tender THANKS.
The next Joyous day OF my lite will be
when your excellency occupies the next highest
place in the gift of the people.
